^ScrollLock:: 
SendInput {Click,Right}
return

I hope this can do that, but failed mysteriously. Hope Autohotkey gurus here can tell me why.

However I've tried Ctrl+0 and Ctrl+CapsLock which both work, as described in http://superuser.com/q/334246/74107

I have similar troubles with the scroll lock key. Specifying it by name does not work, I have to use the scan code.

I also found that the scroll lock key has the same scan code on two different machines. (SC046)

Try replacing ScrollLock with the scan code.

For example, the scan code is used like this:

^SC046:: ;046 is the key for Scroll Lock on my machine, where scroll lock key doesn't work when called by name.
;code here
return

Take a look at the special keys section on how to find the scan code:

You're dead right, SCOTT. My problem is solved.

I use KeyView2.exe in Charles Petzold Programming Windows 5th-ed to find out ScrollLock's scan code is 0x46, indeed.

there are tools in AHK to figure out scan codes as well. See KeyHistory

There was also a script posted here somewhere that would fill the clipboard with the scan code of the pressed key with a Gui...

EDIT: Found it.
